Healthy, light and tasty are some of the words that describe scallops. In North America, Atlantic Sea scallops are found off the northeastern United States and eastern Canada. While most of the rest of the world's production of scallops come from Japan and China. The benefits of scallops are tremendous. Scallops are beneficial for heart health. They are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids which help balance cholesterol levels, reduce inflammation, lower bad cholesterol, improve blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease and provides protection from strokes. Scallops provide essential minerals such as selenium, zinc, magnesium and potassium. Selenium supports thyroid function and immune health. Zinc plays a role in cell growth and brain health. Magnesium keeps your muscles and nerves functioning optimally and even contributes to bone health. Potassium helps in reducing blood pressure. Scallops contain Vitamin B12 which is key for nerve cells and production of red blood cells. Scallops are low in calories and saturated fat. They are a lean source of high-quality protein which is important for building and repairing tissues, maintaining muscle mass and keeping you energized. Scallops can be eaten in a variety of ways whether it be fried, grilled, or smoked. Looking to try something unique and interesting, make sure to give scallops a try.
